The
Learning System at ULH provides a web-based learning
environment to support the delivery of all subjects. It is
available both on- and off-campus, with password protected
internet access.
Standard
features of the learning system include:
|
 |
a
personal diary
|
|
material
to support the delivery of taught units, in the form of
documentation and on-line assessments
|
|
|
electronic
noticeboards and discussion groups. Notice boards allow file
attachments (e.g. lecture notes) and links to external
web sites
|
|
an
exercise creation template for staff to generate their own
on-line tests
|
|
a
tool for staff to monitor student activity
|
|
links
to other information sources
|
|
Modern
Languages students have access to:
|
|
a
French diagnostic test with automatic feedback
|
|
notice
boards, containing information, lecture notes and links to
external sites
|
|
discussion
groups, including one for students on their year abroad
|
|
links
to Language Centre web pages, containing guides to resources
and advice on independent learning (these pages are publicly
accessible at
http://www.ulh.ac.uk/ls/language/langc01.htm
|
|
The
learning system is under constant development.
It will shortly include chat-rooms for live text-based
communication, and an enhanced question designer
allowing the addition of sound and video to on-line tests.
The Learning System provides the framework for the ELEN
project, a TLTP-funded scheme which aims to
distribute learning materials in the areas of generic study
skills, languages and engineering to the consortium
members.
